Maintenance advice
Vehicle care advice, based on what we actually find
A condition check, then a plan you can keep — for your own car or a small fleet. No service packages, no upselling: the advice follows the glass and the parts around it.
What we look at
Four things that decide how your glass performs
Glass and glazing
Chips, edge damage, scratches in the wiper sweep and any repair already carried out.
Wipers and washers
Blade condition, arm pressure and jet alignment — the usual cause of marks that look like glass damage.
Seals and trims
Rubber condition around the screen and doors, water traps, and trim that has started to lift.
Visibility at night
Scatter from oncoming lights, haze on the inside of the screen, and washer fluid that smears.
Before you call
Five signs worth acting on
Most of these you can check yourself in a couple of minutes with the vehicle parked and the engine off.
Ask for a check- A chip that has grown — even a few millimetres since you first noticed it.
- A crack that reaches the edge of the screen, or runs under a trim.
- Water inside the seal, misting that comes back, or a damp smell after rain.
- Wiper streaks that stay after the blade has passed — glass or blade, not both.
- Glare that has got worse at night, especially a haze you cannot wipe away.
How the advice is given
Look, record, then plan
Advice is only useful if you can act on it later, so everything we note is written down.
Inspect
Glass, wipers, seals and trims checked on the vehicle, with photos of anything that matters.
Record
What is sound, what needs watching, and what needs work — each item named, not scored.
Plan
A short written plan with what to do now, what to check yourself, and when to come back.
What the plan contains
- The condition of each pane, with anything flagged for repair or replacement.
- Wiper and washer items to change, with the sizes your vehicle takes.
- Seal and trim items that need cleaning, treating or refitting.
- Checks you can do yourself between visits, and how often they are worth doing.
- Anything we cannot confirm on the day, marked as unconfirmed rather than guessed.
